[TRNSYS-users] Outputs type 56

[David Bradley]

Guy,
  Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to your question directly. 
However, I suspect that since radiation can be transmitted, absorbed, or 
reflected, by definition, the radiation absorbed on outside surfaces 
would NOT include any that was transmitted through the outside surface 
into the interior of the zone. The TRNSYS 17 manual offers the following 
clarification:

SQABSO is the total radiation absorbed at the outside surfaces of 
specified airnodes (thermal zones in TRNSYS 16) including solar gains, 
radiant heat, internal radiation and wallgains, but not longwave 
radiation exchange with Tsky.

If I am incorrect in this, please do correct me!
Best,
  David
